I agree! Those are some wicked times for something that heavy. Just think, you could take the spare out and pick up over a tenth! I'm sure they weight 100lbs. Those trucks are massive....and to run anywhere in the 14's is sick! Congrats.

Thanks guys, but I've still got a little ways to go. The cool thing is that I haven't done much to engine itself other than valvesprings. I can still do headers, cam, a convertor, and ported heads eventually. I can still do a 2.8 or 2.75 pulley, too. The 6.0 is a great foundation. I'm just trying to make sure I stay reliable.

So, uh, what kinda mileage you get? 
Okay, that's not fair, surely not what you bought it for....and it can't be worse than my 1973 Olds Toronado, which got 5 or 7 mpg....maybe.
I'm curious what you can get this thing to do.

Where I live there are lots of hills and grades to climb so I see about 9.5-10 mpg lately. When I am on the other side of the water (Seattle side) it can still knock down 12-13 mpg on the freeway. It was a little better when it was stock... but not by much.

The GTO will end up staying very close to stock though so it would be a fun race but will likely never happen.

First run...
60': 2.137 330': 6.089 1/8: 9.392 @ 74.76 mph 1/4': 14.604 @ 93.55
Second run...
60': 2.088 330': 6.059 1/8: 9.398 @ 74.36 mph 1/4': 14.641 @ 92.57
IAT's were a "cool" 70 degrees above ambient at the start of the first run and were 50 degrees over ambient at the start of the second run. Both runs ended with IAT's in the 150-160 range.
I wish I had video of the runs because it felt pretty strong. There was this dodge cummins turbo diesel that got a real good look at the second run since I crossed the line almost a second ahead of him
